SkyWatch Friday: J C Raulston Arboretum at NCSU

Sunday morning was a beautiful day for wandering around the arboretum.

Starting on Monday it has been unbelievably hot and humid but I think we'll get another slight break this weekend.

Since our hot weather began we have tended to luck out with slightly better weather for at least part of most weekends.

I've been trying to limit myself to one or two shots per post lately.

I don't have the energy to be selective which is why this post has more shots. Ironically more is always easier for me than less.

Nature Notes: Early July

July started out very hot but by Saturday we had much better temperatures, especially in the morning.

My cherry trees don't have the kind of cherries that are large and eaten by humans and they don't have large blossoms but they do provide a lot of food for the birds. The dragonfly below seemed to like the bricks on my house.

Our World Tuesday: J C Raulston Arboretum NCSU

I thought the sign made out of colored cups was a clever way to snaz up a plain fence. The map of North Carolina looks pretty accurate too.

Sunday morning was a pleasant day to wander around the arboretum.
